Presentation: Data Center Interconnect for the AI Era: Enabling Distributed AI Infrastructure

The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally reshaping data center architecture. Rather than relying on a single centralized facility, modern AI environments increasingly distribute GPU clusters, storage, and compute resources across multiple locations to improve scalability, resilience, and resource utilization. This evolution places unprecedented demands on the underlying network, requiring deterministic low latency, massive bandwidth, and uncompromising security.

This session explores how high-performance Data Center Interconnect (DCI) has become a critical enabler of distributed AI infrastructure. It will examine the optical transport technologies that allow geographically separated data centers to operate as a single AI fabric, supporting the movement of enormous datasets and synchronization of AI training workloads while maintaining predictable performance and operational simplicity.
